The Mississippi Republicans are appar-
emily about to obtain formal possession
of General }. r. Chalmers, of The Shoe
string District Several citizens Of his
State who have evidently been sitting a
long while on the fence have requested
his opinion Gs 10 whether the Greenback-
ers, Independents, etc, should or should
not join the Republican party" lie has
replied in a long letter setting forth his
views on Protection and announcing that
if the Mississippi Republicans invite the
classes mentioned to join them he at least
will accept the invitation.
IL is safe TO say that the Mississippi Re
publicans will invite General Chalmers
TO join them to the extent Of casting his
vote at all events, and he has had enough
experience in getting in and ont of par
ties TO know that vote and an eX-
pressed intention are sufficient 10 clinch
the business.-N. J. World.

There Is one inevitable factor IN the

The Difference Between a Republican and
Democrat-The Supreme Court ON
Prohibition-Labora Political Factor
RIsinc's Niews-tDd other Matters.


The New York 7ribnne, in answer to
question as to the difference between a
Republican and Democrat, says:
1t is the same difference essentially
which has existed in the past between a
Democrat an Federalist, or between
Democrat and Wing. From the foun-
dation of the Government there have
been two parties, one of which mas de
sired less and the other more legislation
on constructive issues of national reform
and progress. The Federalists desired TO
arm The National Government with requi-
site authority over the States so as TO in
sure its preservation. The Democrats
opposed such legislation as involving a
dangerous degree of Capitalization. The
Federalst Secretary of the Treasury,
Alexander Hamilton, proposed in one OF
his earliest reports comprehensive
scheme for the development of home In
dushies. and the Wings in later times
under Henry Clay became champions OF
tariff legislation.

that if the argument of Justice Harlan

Beecher at His Best.

Random Extracts from Mr.. Beech
er's Sermons: Nowhere can man
get real foot room and spread out
his branches till they touch the
morning and evening, but in his own
house.
The real man is one who always
finds excuses for others. but never
excuses himself.
Men have different spheres. 1t is
for some to evolve great moral truths,
as the heavens evolve stars, to guide
the sailor on the sea and tho travel
er on the desert; and it is for some,
like the sailor and the traveller, sim
ply to be guided.
In the morning we carry the
world, like Atlas; at noon we stop
and bend beneath it, and at night it
brushes us fat TO the ground.
ANY feeling that takes a man
away from his home is q traitor to
the household
A man ought to carry himself in
the word as an orange tree would il
it could walk up and down in the
garden--swinging perfume from
every little censor it holds up to the
AR.
The surerfuous blossoms on q
fruit tree are meant TO symbolize
the large way in which God loves to
do pleasant things.
Our best actions are often those
of which we are unconscious; but
this can never be unless we are al.
ways yearning to do good.
La this world it is not what we
take up, but what we give up, that
makes us rich.
A helping word to one IN trouble
is often like switch on railroad
track but one inch between wreck
and smooth rolling prosperity,
AS flowers never put on their best
clothes for Sunday, but wear their
spotless raiment and exhale their
odor every day, so let your Christ
ian life. free from stain, ever give
forth the fragrance OF the love oil
God.
What cares thu child when
the mother rocks it, though all
storms beat without So we, If God
doth shield and tend us, shall be
needless Of the tempests and blasts
OF life, blow they ever so rudely.

MAMMOTH CUBAN CORN.
Important to Farmers.

The mammoth Cuban Corn Is the
best field corn ever raised In this coun-
ty on account of its quick growing quail
tiles. In 100 days from planting It is
ripe, and hard for gathering. Plant
ing it about the first week in April it
will be in good roasting ear by the 10
June, and by the 10Th of July il will be
ripe. 1t Will always average three
ears to the stalk. Do not leave more
than one stalk to the hill. 1t will
make large ears with small cob. And
when planted in rich or bottom land it
will make off shoots or called suckers
they will also make large ears too. Ii
Will more than double any other corn
planted. No matter if the land is poor
or rich with ordinary cultivation you
will get more than twice the amount OF
any other corn raised. 1t will stand
the droutll better, and is made before
dry weather sets In in this part of the
country. | laised the corn the past
summer with good success. Out of 2ll

Correspondence Of the Democrat.
PoTTs STATION, March 19.-Will
you allow us space in your excellen,
paper to make an acknowledgment
1t is not of that unpleasant kind thai
makes us blush with shame and hang
down our heads. Although we may
have grace to acknowledge our faults
yet il is an unpleasant duty to con,
Tess that we have done wrong.
But it is our pleasant privilege to
acknowledge debt of gratitude to
our numerous friends who appeared
at our residence on the 18th inst,
with smiling countenances, and many
valuable presents. After depositlng
the articles intended for our benefit,
very sumptuous dinner was spread
in tue yard which all seemed to en-
Joy.
While we highly appreciate the
gifts bestowed, the social feature OF
this visit was exceedingly pleasant,
The aged mother in Israel, border.
ing on her eightieth year-fathers
and mothers, sons and daughters
little boys and girls, all mingling to-
getner in social converse, and all
come to cheer us by their presence.
We were pleased to see on the occa
sion friends of other denominations,
and were kindly remembered by
others who were not present.
Before the crowd began to disperse,
they were called together, and an &C
acknowledgement made OF the favors
conferred, and thanks given to God
for his goodness to us. The 23d
Psalm never seemed more appropri-
ate than on that occasion. After the
crowd dispersed we found ourselves
in possession of the following ar
ticles: Flour, $50 lbs; meat, ten
hams and sides, lard and pickles,
hats, shoes, shirts, collars, cuffs,
towels, lace pillow shams, handker
chiefs, table cloth, queensware, suits
for the little boys, and dresses for
the little girls, Benjamin's portion
for Mrs. Oates. lamp etc, amounting
in value to about seventy five dollars.
And IN addition TO the above articles
a purse of seventeen dollars and fifty
cents was handed to us.
This manifestation of favor on the
part Of the church, comes in good
grace, after having raised the sub
scrlption to the salary seyenty-fye,
or perhaps one hundred dollars. We
have been here nineteen years past,
since that time this congregation has
repaired the old church and built
two new ones, and all paid for with
out a dollar of debt resting on the
church. And instead Of being ex
hausted, the church is just as vigor-
Gus, if not more so, than she was
nineteen years ago.

don't think any part of Pope is
